G.O.A.T
Greetings and salutations! This is Gary Baden; we spent some time discussing hunting techniques over dinner, recently. I was wondering if you would be interested in a little friendly competition? I've already harvested two ibex this morning. This you can catch up while I grab a nap?
Harvest 2 goats
Starting to Boar Me
Well at least now I know that you're capable of killing a couple of old goats. If I've learned anything while amassing my collection of hunting trophies, it's that a true hunter isn't afraid to go after prey that can fight back. Think you can harvest a pair of wild boars?
Harvest 2 boars
Feeling Sheepish?
Two boars? Not bad. Did you wait for them to fall asleep before you took your shots? No need to be embarrassed. It's a good technique for a rookie hunter. While you were out doing that, I've brought a pair of mouflon from the mountain. Not a bad day, so far.
Harvest 2 Mouflon Sheep
Hundred-Meter Hurdles
It seems you enjoy emulating me. Whatever I shoot, you copy. It's a little flattering, to be honest. I wonder if you can come close to matching my shots. You think you can efficiently kill an ibex from over a hundred meters away? I'd be impressed
Harvest a goat killed from 100m away and 100% quick kill
A Bit of a Long Shot
I guess we all get lucky from time to time. It's all part of the hunt, right? just nailed a kill shot at two-hundred and fifty meters. You think you can do any better? There's no embarrassment if you can't. I am after all, a multiple award, winning hunter.
Harvest an animal killed from 300m
Take a Shot in the Dark
It's remarkable how effective modern technology is in mitigating the errors that less experienced hunters tend to make, don't you think? Still, good job. How do you feel about hunting at night? It can be intimidating for journeymen hunters, but you should give it a try.
Harvest an animal killed from 150m at night
Up & At Them
Clearly you have no problems with pulling the trigger and getting that kill shot. A real professional knows that the true test of a hunter is getting close without startling the animal. I was able to get within forty meters of an ibex before it bolted. Can you do better?
Harvest 2 goats killed from 30m or less
The Golden Touch
There's prey out here that only the real-deal ever go after. If you want me to take you seriously, you're gonna need to harvest a wolf. A premium specimen, too. You should see the one I've got my eye on just now. It's gonna take something special to top this.
Harvest a Gold wolf
Baden's Folly
I've been tracking a wolf, but every time I get close enough to take a shot, it disappears before I can find it in my scope. It's smart, too; only ever coming out at night. Alejandra should know where to find me, if you're up to it.

Hello, this is Mayor Hernandez. I understand that you are busy, so I will get straight down to business. I have had several complaints about wild boar from a farmer within the reserve, and I'd appreciate your help dealing with them. Normally I'd ask Alejandra, but having a direct line to you is better.

Keep the Wolves From the Door
A pack of curious wolves are straying a little too close to one of the reserve's most popular outposts. While this is the nature that many are coming here to see, it can be a little intimidating. I'd like you to harvest a couple of wolves around this outpost. Maybe it will teach them to avoid the area.

Not Ready to Rock
We often receive visitors who are not familiar with the dangers of roaming the countryside. This means that we must ensure they know the places that they ought to avoid. There is a particular area that could be dangerous, and I don't want a lawsuit. Can you check to see if it is stable?

The Farmer's Friend
Let me tell you something, my friend. Nobody fusses, grumbles or complains like a farmer with something on their mind. If I'm going to get their vote next year, I need you to make a show of hunting some animals that are encroaching on their farmland. Let them know I care.

The After-Party
I recently gave my brother the gift of an overnight stay in the reserve. He has repaid my generosity by inviting his friends to join him and throwing a party in the middle of this idyllic landscape. Sadly, this has resulted in quite a mess. Would you tidy it up before anyone sees it?
Pick up 10 pieces of trash
Award For Best Supporting Hunter
Many locals want a mayor that takes part in traditional pastimes, such as hunting in our game reserve, Unfortunately I am simply too busy to go on a hunt, but perhaps you could taxidermise a prize specimen and allow me to display it in my office? Just until after the next election.

Iberia's Crowning Glory
While I don't hunt, Alejandra has helped me to understand the importance of the Iberian ibex, especially when it comes to the local perception. I'd like you to capture an image of each kind of ibex, to show that one need not shoot a creature to appreciate it.

Hello! This is Nina; I understand that you knew I'd be in touch? I am excited to sample the delights of the reserve. Why don't we start off with something simple? I want to try making a traditional dish today, and I will need two hares to make it. Can you help me out?
Harvest 2 hares
Professionally Pierced Pork
It won't surprise you to hear that I am a purist, when it comes to my cooking. I am putting together a new menu and need a few different things, so I can make some samples. First, I require a wild boar, but I need you to kill it with an arrow, or a bolt. No bullets.
Harvest a boar killed with a bow or crossbow
Roe to Go
Wonderful work! I can see why Alejandra is so excited to have you working here. This traditional technique of killing animals is said to improve the texture of the meat. This is an experiment of sorts. The next thing I need is a roe deer, killed with the same method. No bullets.
Harvest a roe deer killed with a bow or crossbow
A Wounded Hart
A wonderful example of a roe deer, ready for the pot! Given that you're so prolific with the traditional methods, why don't we try one last hunt without a gun? Bring me in a red deer, but I want this one with the minimum amount of trauma to the deer. A single shot to the heart ought to do it, no?

Meat by Moonlight
Next time you're in town, I'm going to make you pan-roasted venison. It's already proving very popular, and I actually need four more deer. My father's recipe book for venison mentions that they should be hunted at night, but I don't know why. Still, I won't argue with his technique.

Peerless Pork = Champion Chorizo
I feel like the venison will become my signature dish while I'm here. I can't rest on my laurels, though. While I was away from home, I began working on my recipe for the perfect chorizo. If you can find me the best quality of Wild boar meat, I think I can make something special.

The pan-roasted venison is undoubtedly the most popular thing on the menu, but I want to experiment a little more. I have a recipe for a chilindron that I'd love your help with. I need some quality venison to make this work, though. I'm sure you won't disappoint.

Save Some For Me
Hola. Alejandra tells me that you have offered to help out with some problems that we are facing out here on the reserve? The first thing I'd like your help with, is dealing with the wild boars in our potato fields. I cannot afford to lose a quarter of my field to these animals.
Harvest 3 boars in the Granja Riberena area
Packed Off
That's a good start, but I'd wager that more will come back before too long. Thank you for your help. We are also experiencing a lot of problems with our wolves, but I'd like to use your experience as a hunter to work out where they're likely to congregate, so we can get an idea of their numbers.
Spot 1 wolf need zone in the Colina Rota area
Things Are Getting Harey
One of my friends had mentioned that the riverbank was starting to crumble in places. I think it's because the hares have been setting up their warrens too close to the water. While it may be a case of trying to swim upstream, I'd appreciate it if you could thin out their numbers a little.
Harvest 5 hares in the Lago de los Olivos area
Found Further Afield
There are so many challenges to being a goatherd out here in Cuatro Colinas. You have to accept that with so many dangers around, there's a real risk of losing goats to other wildlife. My neighbour told me that he's recently lost a goat, but with no sign of where she went. Maybe you can track her down?

Pre-emptive Strike
The last time we had problems with the reserve's animal stock, it wasn't the boars. We had an abundance of roe deer that were doing real damage to the farms in the area. I think we need a cull of the roe deer, or I predict them becoming a real threat to our livelihoods.
Harvest 3 female roe deer
Butt Out, Buddy
Several people have spotted male mouflon, harassing the sheep-herds that we keep out here. The predators are bad, enough, but none of us have the time to deal with territorial sheep. I think that if you hunt a few of the males that are causing the problems, that will make things easier for us.
Harvest 3 male mouflons in the Lago Javier area
Thinning the Pack
We were able to conduct a census of wolf population based on your recommendations. It won't surprise you that we've found the wolf numbers to be a concern, and Alejandra agreed that they ought to be reduced. Let's start with five and see what happens.

Can't Show Up Empty-Handed
I admit I was sceptical of the help that we would receive from you, but you have proven me wrong. Some of my fellow farmers have asked me to invite you to celebrate the harvest festival.If you bring dinner, you'll be extremely popular! I'll leave your invite at Victor's Overlook.

The "Marksman" Challenge
You might not be a Del Bosque, but you certainly shoot like one. I have little doubt that you'd be capable of setting the reserve record, and I'm inclined to give you the opportunity. When I was thirty, I took down an ibex with a single shot, from four-hundred meters away. Can you do better?

The "Stalker" Challenge
A record that I've held for over thirty years, and suddenly it's gone in a bang. Well, if I could hit a target from far away, my beloved's true skill was in getting extremely close without startling the creature, before taking the shot with a bow. I could never manage it. Can you?
